Rhizosphere melatonin application reprograms nitrogen-cycling related microorganisms to modulate low temperature response in barley.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rhizospheric melatonin application has a positive effect on the tolerance of plants to low temperature; however, it remains unknown whether the rhizosphere microorganisms are involved in this process. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous melatonin on the diversity and functioning of fungi and bacteria in rhizosphere of barley under low temperature. The results showed that rhizospheric melatonin application positively regulated the photosynthetic carbon assimilation and redox homeostasis in barley in response to low temperature. These effects might be associated with an altered diversity of microbial community in rhizosphere, especially the species and relative abundance of nitrogen cycling related microorganisms, as exemplified by the changes in rhizosphere metabolites in the pathways of amino acid synthesis and metabolism. Collectively, it was suggested that the altered rhizospheric microbial status upon melatonin application was associated with the response of barley to low temperature. This suggested that the melatonin induced microbial changes should be considered for its application in the crop cold-resistant cultivation.
